Family Therapy
Is Your Family Functioning?
Are issues in your family becoming intense and negatively affecting your life?
Have healthy family debates and conflicts elevated to overwhelming experiences and uncomfortable feelings?
Do you feel your parent and child relationship growing distant, estranged, and unhealthy?
Are you experiencing friction, competition, and comparison between you and your siblings, developing into frequent confrontations?
Do politics, culture, religion, or lifestyle differences divide your family and start arguments that result in isolation?
As a caregiver, are you experiencing a high-stress level impeding your life and happiness?
Has your family experienced a death? Are you dealing with grief and loss?
Has someone in your family been suicidal?
Is someone struggling with depression or addiction?
Do you struggle to say what you mean, and often feel unheard or misunderstood in your family?
Do you feel safe?
Are you experiencing emotional or intimidation from one or more family members?
Have conflicts in your family made you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, sad, or lowered your self-esteem?
How I Can Help You
Accepting each other's differences can go a long way towards coexistence as a family, and understanding can unite the family to grow together. Parents often crave a better relationship with their children, while children desire understanding and better relationships with their parents. Today, financial obligations, social events, school, and social media often dictate and rob us of quality family time. Quality time with each other often suffers and takes a back seat.
In my therapy sessions, I will listen empathically and identify tools to provide opportunities to enrich the family through acceptance and understanding, built through effective communication.
I will outline a way to take a step back in quiet reflection and schedule quality time with each other. Journaling can help organize your thoughts and feelings towards your family challenges and help you discover how to communicate with each other and evolve.
Each family member is at a different stage in life, and it can be hard to accept each other's differences. I can help families understand generation gaps and aging, set boundaries, develop reasonable decision-making, and help each family member feel relevant, resulting in a better functioning home environment.

Family conflicts often feel paralyzing and unsolvable because they are extremely emotional and deeply rooted.

My Approach to Family Therapy
We can begin to uncover if you are experiencing difficulties in your family relationships due to low self-esteem and confidence, shame, anxiety, and depression resulting from missed nurturing in your childhood.
I can help families clearly define what each member needs and how to enhance each other's sense of relevance. I will help you set boundaries and navigate roles and expectations through structural family therapy and systems theory.

Make a Change
Better communication tools achieved in therapy can lead towards acceptance and understanding. Without the opportunity to define and practice new communication skills, families can further divide and separate.
A divided family can add unnecessary stress leading to anxiety and depression, manifesting as poor physical health.
Reuniting the family through sound communication, acceptance, and understanding can have lasting positive impact in each family member’s life. A solid foundation of love and acceptance can empower generations to flourish.
